SUMMARY:Indigenous Art: Reclaiming Space\, Reclaiming Stories Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Native November  Art Gallery Opening on Nov 1\, 6:30-8 PM at Hub Central. Art\, food\, and music celebrating Indigenous voices!\n\n\nYou’re Invited: Native November Art Gallery Opening \nJoin us on November 1\, 2024\, for a groundbreaking celebration at Hub Central\, First Floor of the Discovery Building\, from 6:30 – 8:00 PM. \n \n\nMeet the Artists\nEnjoy Food and Non-Alcoholic Refreshments\nFree Admission – RSVP Encouraged\n\nThis year\, Native November kicks off with a public art gallery opening\, featuring incredible student art\, live music\, and delicious food. Indigenous students across UW have created culturally informed art as part of their mental health and wellness journeys\, and now they are ready to share it with the broader UW and public communities. \n\n\nWith the generous sponsorship of University Health Services\, Native Nations UW\, and the Illuminating Discovery Hub at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery\, we are honored to offer this unique experience. This event creates a space for reflection\, healing\, and celebration of the Indigenous experience on ancestral homelands. By turning land acknowledgments into tangible action\, we proudly contribute to a deeper recognition of history\, culture\, and resilience\, offering a place for voices to be heard and stories to be shared in the spirit of community and healing. \nFeatured artists include: \nWrigley BastianWould You Understand?2024Poetry \nJami BalickiSplit Ends2024Digital Photograph \nAva Belislethey love each other (teyutatnolúkwa’)2024Digital Art \nJulia GnadtMusic as Medicine2024Gouache on Vinyl \nWylie KnightUntitled2024Acrylic on Canvas \nJada JamesUntitled2022Prisma Color Pencil on paper  \nIsabella Escobar-AvilesTBA \nAna Gabriela Escobar-AvilesWhat We Share2024Drawing on paper \nJulien FrancourKunolúkwah2024Acrylic paint on canvas \n \n \nHelp us celebrate Indigenous students as they bravely share their heritage\, stories\, and mental health journeys through their artwork. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Crossroads of Ideas: Growing Without Gravity
DESCRIPTION:Can plants thrive amid the zero-gravity chaos of space?  Could the stars themselves hold the recipe for life?  Join Crossroads to find out!\n\n\nReady to leave Earthly bounds behind? Join us for an absolutely out-of-this-world Crossroads of Ideas\, where astrobiology and astrochemistry come together in cosmic fashion! Plant biologist Dr. Simon Gilroy and astrochemist Dr. Susanna Widicus Weaver are your guides for an evening of star-studded discovery\, diving into everything from the surprising resilience of plants in space to the chemistry that could hint at life beyond our planet. Moderated by Eric Wilcots\, this event will tackle cosmic questions like: How do plants handle the zero-gravity chaos of space? Could the stars themselves hold the recipe for life? With Gilroy’s upcoming plant experiment on the International Space Station and Weaver’s quest to uncover the secrets of interstellar molecules\, this is more than a talk—it’s an invitation to explore life’s mysteries among the stars! \n \nGuest presenters Simon Gilroy\, Susanna Widicus Weaver\, and moderated by Eric Wilcots. \nDr. Simon Gilroy is a plant biologist whose research seeks to understand how plants and microbes respond to the alien world of spaceflight. He received his bachelor’s degree in botany from the university of Cambridge in England and a Ph.D. in plant biochemistry from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He pursued postdoctoral research at the University of California at Berkeley before becoming a faculty member at PennState and then moving to his current position in the Department of Botany at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2007. He is a fellow of the American Society for the Advancement of Science and a recipient UW-Madison’s Bassam Shakashiri Public Science Engagement Award. He serves on NASA’s Biological and Physical Sciences Advisory Committee and is currently preparing to send his seventh plant experiment to the International Space Station in March 2025. \n \nSusanna Widicus Weaver\, Vozza Professor of Chemistry and Astronomy at the University of Wisconsin\, is an expert in prebiotic astrochemistry. Her research\, combining laboratory spectroscopy\, observational astronomy\, and chemical modeling\, is aimed at understanding the mechanisms driving interstellar chemistry and the pathways for the formation of life. She received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Illinois Wesleyan University (2000) and her Ph.D. in chemistry at Caltech (2005). She was a postdoctoral fellow in Chemistry and Astronomy at the University of Illinois from 2005-2008. Before moving to Wisconsin in 2020\, she was a Professor of Chemistry at Emory University. She is the Provisional Director of the Wisconsin Center for Origins Research at UW-Madison. She is also a member of the Chemical Sciences Roundtable at the National Academy of Sciences. \n\n\nWe value inclusion and access for all participants. If you would like to request reasonable accommodations to enhance your participation experience\, please email idhub@wid.wisc.edu no later than 2 weeks prior to the event. This event is wheelchair accessible.

SUMMARY:SoundWaves: Developing Ideas\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Explore how trends\, plans\, viewpoints\, projects\, materials\, and sounds develop.  Where we are and where we might be headed in the future.\n\n\nHow do babies develop language? How are new drugs developed? How did we go from no universe to the universe we know and love? And how does cancer develop in our bodies? How does a musician write a piece of music for himself to play? Find out as SoundWaves continues its yearlong exploration of Development: where are we now\, how did we get here\, and where might we go? \nSoundWaves combines scientific lectures about the world with live classical music performances. Each event revolves around a theme\, exploring it first from many scientific angles and then through the lens of music. The program concludes with a live performance of music related to the evening’s theme. \nThis episode\, our musical guest is Tom Curry\, Mead Witter School of Music Teaching Faculty\, Tuba and Euphonium. Curry is currently the tubist in the Wisconsin Brass Quintet\, a faculty ensemble-in-residence at the Mead Witter School of Music\, and has performed with the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra\, the Madison Symphony Orchestra\, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra\, the Joffrey Ballet\, the Chicago Philharmonic and many other orchestras. \nJoin him and our scientific experts as we continue Developing Ideas\, Part 2: \nJennifer Golden\, pharmacy \nJenny Safran\, psychology \nPeter Timbie\, physics \nJose Ayuso\, dermatology \nDaniel Grabois\, music and host \nThis event will take place in the DeLuca Forum in the Discovery Building. This is a free event\, however registration is requested to ensure adequate seating. \n\n\nWe value inclusion and access for all participants.
